Antonio
​Sangio

Founder of
Introspective Hypnosis, LLC

Workshop

Are we trapped by our own destiny?
Antonio Sangio is a hypnotist and past life regressionist who found in Introspective Hypnosis, the perfect tool to help his clients access their subconscious mind in their search of the origin of psychosomatic symptoms, fears, phobias, addictions, depression, relationship issues, etc., which could have originated in the present or past lives.

Antonio has always been fascinated with the power of the subconscious and all the information stored in it. Through the years he understood that the subconscious is a big repository of positive and negative associations as well as repressed emotions, which can manifest as physical symptoms. This information has been stored throughout past and present lives.

Antonio has been guiding his clients through their spiritual awakening process, facilitating their access to past lives and in-between lives memories to help them understand that we are spirits having a human experience and that we chose our own lessons and experiences before we reincarnate.

His approach is about love, forgiveness and self-healing. He also feels that a big part of his mission is to help earthbound spirits attached to his clients to cross over, thus removing any symptoms they might have been causing to them.

Antonio not only practices and teaches "Introspective Hypnosis"; a method he created based on Aurelio Mejía’s (one of his teachers and mentors) techniques, but he was also trained in "Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique" by Dolores Cannon and "Life Between Lives" (Michael Newton’s technique) with The Newton Institute.

Court Creeden

Author of Blue Goat

Workshop

From Self to Soul
Court Creeden is the author of Blue Goat and the founder of Parent Financial. His work in finance led him to being featured in the Wall Street Journal, MSN Money, Dow Jones and to having his own weekly televised segment called “Money Monday’s”. His experience in working with countless people for over a decade led him to see how few of us are living the lives we really want to be living. Seeing the impact of the decisions people were making, the issues they we are facing and the lack of contentment in our day to day lives he felt like he needed to do something.

Setting out to share his experience and what he witnessed going on in the world led him to write his book Blue Goat. In the process of writing this book he realized that he was writing the book to himself. In a process that took 12 days he wrote Blue Goat having a profound personal and emotional experience.

“I was looking all around at everything happening in the world around me, but I finally held up a mirror. I wasn’t being my most authentic and real self.”
Challenging himself to wake-up and realize the truth. He wasn’t living the life he wanted to be either. 

From this experience Court has completely changed his perspective and his life. From seeking out the answers from the world around him to challenging himself to uncover and discover who he is from within. Going on what he calls his greatest challenge yet, from trying to find himself, to finding his soul.

Kelley Gardner

Owner of Kelley Gardner, Inc.
Ayurvedic Digestion & Nutrition Coach

Workshop

Foods & Rituals That Promote a Calm Body and Clear Mind
Kelley Gardner is an Ayurvedic Digestion & Nutrition coach, an energy healer, and longtime yoga teacher who moves fluidly between subtle energy understanding and practical knowledge. Over the past 30 years, her studies of the mind/body, intuition, meditation, psychology, and Ayurveda have cultivated a deep interest in people’s journeys into expanded consciousness while living fully as a human being. She is a compassionate listener who values the opportunity to help her clients live passionate, embodied, healthy lives.

Many of us learn to raise our energy and expand our consciousness in ways that invite a rich relationship with our spirit and guides. These skills and practices support a life connected more deeply with the universe. For some, finding a balance between living fully in this world and in this body, while being very sensitive to energy, is a complex dance. The potential to bypass the body’s wisdom can happen all too easily.

As a certified Ayurvedic Digestion & Nutrition coach, Kelley educates clients to understand their own unique constitution and to recognize imbalances in their vital energies. Ayurveda is one of the oldest natural healing systems in the world. It teaches us what foods and daily routines pacify an individual’s constitution, calming the body and minimizing mental fog. Ayurveda is the bridge that taught Kelley how to be grounded in the body while remaining open and intuitive. It is the crossroads where sensitivity, awareness, and practical, healthy choices converge.

As the owner of Kelley Gardner, Inc.(1999), founder of the Bindu Yoga studio (2000), and co-owner of Rasika Yoga School (2007), Kelley’s professional and personal life brings her close to individuals interested in growing and cultivating life skills that expand each person’s potential. She has a refined eye for identifying patterns that create imbalance (physical, emotional, routine, and diet). Food choices and routines can improve or impair health. And when we learn to listen to the body’s cues, the truth of the adage, “As above, so below” enlivens our relationship to the vast universe within us. Knowing what foods to eat to calm the body and clear the mind helps each of us live the most extraordinary life we are meant to live.

Whether in private practice or teaching groups, Kelley is renowned for her ability to “connect the dots” and to bring clarity to complex sets of symptoms and issues. As the body remembers all our experiences, from loving to traumatic, Kelley uses multiple modalities to help clients heal the wounds of the inner landscape and strengthen the body as the spiritual and literal container of our wholeness.
